Shards of War: Fleeing To and From Uzbekistan

Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- In 1941, two teen siblings flee their home on foot in Dubno, Poland, now Ukraine, just ahead of the advancing Germans. The author tells the true, gripping story of his and his sister’s travels and life in the Soviet Union, providing chilling accounts of earth-shaking events of World War II.

“Michael portrays in shattering detail the improbable survival of most Polish Jews who eluded the Holocaust by fleeing to the Soviet Union. The memoir offers a novel, absolutely essential perspective on the catastrophic events of World War II.” – Atina Grossmann, professor of history, Cooper Union, New York

“This unbelievable, yet true, unique story will help teachers meet the New Jersey mandate that all students must learn about bias, prejudice and bigotry through the teaching of the Holocaust and genocide.” – Dr. Paul B. Winkler, executive director, N.J. Commission on Holocaust Education

“It’s very well written and tells an extraordinary story with much passion, empathy and skill.” – Omer Bartov, professor of history, Brown University
